All of our agency’s Directors
Long storied history of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency.
My boss, Director and Homeland Security Advisor Alicia Tate-Nadeau is the first female to lead the agency.
Long list of directors from all walks of life…and all parts of Illinois.
Incidentally, Alicia Tate-Nadeau is the first female one-star general from Illinois.
Outstanding crew so far.
Long hours, but thankful to lead the PIO effort here in Illinois.
Setting up the PIO desk
I even got an L-shaped desk!
Seems kinda empty now…and I gotta get more monitors too.
Either way, happy to be part of the team.
Reporting in from my 1960s desk…

Day-2 as the new state PIO
Roaring start today as we roll into day-2!
Early bird gets the worm right?
Ready to start briefing. Thank goodness for outgoing PIO Rebecca Clark.
Rebecca has transitioned to lead the state’s effort with the fairs in Springfield and also the DuQuoin State Fair.
First week, taking it all in at the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC).
So much to learn as Illinois does things a bit different. Nothing bad, just gotta get used to the new action(s).
Glad to be part of the senior staff here at IEMA.
